Home

So much for my wanting to move overseas for like a year or so to experience life outside of Singapore. It is now 2.58am in the morning and at 6.15pm, I'll be flying off to LA for a 7 weeks study trip in UCLA. But right now, as I sit in front of my laptop, I feel very... restless. I feel yes excited about the trip, but at the same time I also feel like I don't want to leave. Because now is the time for goodbyes, for bon voyages and farewells. And I don't want to bid anyone adieu. It makes me sad. And tonight is my last night here in Singapore. Somehow it seems rather wasted to spend it asleep. Although yes, I have the most awesomely soft bed ever and I likely will miss it too.

And you know what? I'm being horrifyingly melodramatic. LOL. It's only for 7 weeks. Just a week shy of 2 months and I'm being all mopey and emotional about it.

But still, every time prior to a departure from our sunny little island, I'd always look around as I go about my days looking around at the familiar landscapes. Those roads, those buildings, those TREES. Yes well, we have an awful lot of trees here, which is a good thing really.

To sum it all up, this is, quite simply, home.

And there's nowhere else like home.
